My husband and I have eaten at La Bottega previously, and this visit did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. They have a great assortment of wines by the glass, which we appreciate because one of us likes whites and one likes reds more. We will return - it is a great place to celebrate a special occasion, especially if you can snag an outside table in warmer weather!

Food was very good and service was great. Gave it 3 stars for ambience, table clothes would be a nice touch to go along with the great quality of food and service. We were a party of 2 and seated next to a party of 5 that was very loud. We could barely hear each other and our table for 2 was next to a concrete wall with a section that stuck out several inches . We moved the table back several inches to give me room to eat. The menu has a wide variety of choices including vegetarian, steak, seafood, chicken, salads etc. and the quality was outstanding. Wine and bar menu was very good with prices equivalent to a mountain resort area. The servers were very attentive and our water glasses were never empty. Outdoor seating was available and wish we had taken advantage of the beautiful weather. Highly recommend but it can be loud if you’re wanting intimacy.

Been eating there 15+ years. La Bottega is definitely one of Vail's best restaurants. Their pizza's are one of my favorites, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Service is fantastic as well, Gigi is the best and Stephanie does an incredible job running a fantastic restaurant. Stewart
